It's easy to get overwhelmed the first time. They have anything and everything. LOTS of blends too. Careful, don't get sucked into a blend that has salt as an ingredient (too salty imo); they have many blends that are salt free (and why pay for salt anyway). Big fan of their Adobo seasoning on baked chicken. They have several different kinds of cinnamon, chili powders, herb blends (although I use fresh when I can), peppers, vanillas...I must have at least 75 jars of stuff from them, no exaggeration.

Thanks, I think I'll be able to control myself. I'm not that much of a chef. Might just look for some Indian spicesFrom what I've read online the place is very expensive which makes it a good fit for Menlo Park CA (where the store is located)

For Indian spices, an actual Indian store is going to have much better prices. Then again, they usually sell in larger quantities, at least way more than I could ever use in a reasonable amount of time. I bought some cumin, corriandar, cardamom and tumeric recently at about 1/8 of the cost (per ounce) at an Indian store. Tastes are a little different, so it adds to the variety. I guess I've never found Penzey's all that expensive, but not really compared since it's where I get the majority.
